Parents, a princess and a pirate

And that's OK.

Brett and I went to Meet the Teacher night last night. This being our first one, we didn't know really what to expect. First off, I was surprised by the amount of paperwork we got. Now, I've already filled out and turned in probably 15 pages of paperwork for her. So to see a folder, overflowing with more paperwork was surprising. We divided and conquered the pages we had to fill out and turn in that night. The two 1/2 day teachers spoke to the group (we were in the gym) and went over all the expectations, rules and schedules that the kids will have. One of the teachers (not Kylie's, thank goodness) kept talking to us like WE were the kindergartners. She kept saying "and that's OK." As in "sometimes kids have accidents and that's OK." Or "sometimes they have to be put in time-out and that's ok." No joke, she said "and that's OK" 50 times if she said it once. Drove Brett crazy, I just thought it was funny.
The expectations are high for her class. She'll be reading by the end of the year, spelling tests start in January, math skills have already started, she'll have weekly homework assignments. But they make it fun.
And that's ok.
